    Hopefully. The fact that he is already back in training means it was just precautionary. I have to think he may get a start down the stretch... but this weekend seems unlikely. If he gets 20+ minutes I will be very happy.

    Yikes so I wonder if the earlier reports were wrong, or he re-aggravated the hamstring injury, or if this is something new.

    Or, the more optimistic take, if they're just taking it slow with him so as to not rush him back?

    I'd wager he felt tightness in whatever muscle he hurt on Saturday after he trained on Tuesday. He won't play this weekend, probably be back to full training next week (young muscles) and play the following week.

    Ugh. Just par for the USMNT course I guess. I think I am finally getting used to this.

    It references this article in Dón Balón as the source:

    Florentino Pérez llama a Dortmund y no es por Haaland y Hakimi

    https://www.donbalon.com/futbol/laliga/florentino-perez-llama-dortmund-no-es-haaland-hakimi

    It's fairly speculative and mentions Brandt and Reyna as being potential bargaining chips in a package deal to get Haaland. No RM sources were named.

    I wonder how good Gio's Spanish is.

    Modric is getting up there in age. He's 35 in September.

    Yeah, I could see that. Wonder how the release clause in Haaland's contract works when the offer is for Haaland + 1.

    I’ve seen some rumors that Halaand actually negotiated a lowish release clause in his deal, $60 million or thereabouts.

    Increases the likelihood that he’ll be able to chose his next landing spot if true

    I think the release clause is $75 mil. From what I remember reading, he chose Dortmund because he would practically be guaranteed first team minutes on a good team and would not get in the way of a future transfer. Similar to his situation at Salzburg.
